Thoughts
Waging war with my mind, its not on my side. Saturated in shame, self-righteous divide. Fighting my thinking, Step back, stay detached. Observe, don’t absorb; Respond, don’t react. I’m loosing the battle, a self-abused casualty. Avoidance and doubt Infiltrating intrusively. My mental dexterity Disintegrating identity. Sympathetic shutdown, Overwhelmed by reality. A primal protection, triggered by…

Anger
Don’t shrink to fit your anger for long. You were innocent, a child, You did nothing wrong. Sucked into a vortex, Downward spiral of shame. Don’t turn anger inwards. You’re not to blame. You grew up in fear, Sharp breath, held inside. Afraid to exhale In case he’d ignite. Fly off the handle, He lacked…

Stay
I met my inner child today, She woke with me and decided to stay. I felt her presence as my dream receded, I stilled my breathing, no words were needed. My awareness of her remained, peripherally, keeping rumination at bay, as she whispered to me. I took some time and slowly edged nearer. Not face…

I’m Fine.
What do you hear when I say “I’m fine”? Do you hear the pain that’s lurking behind the simple dismissal, a door firmly closed. Please don’t ask more, for fear I’ll disclose my inadequate failing, to put words to feelings, Revealing my self as fundamentally lacking. Seeking a right reply, to genuine interest in my…

If not now, then when?
You can say all the right words and do all the right things but it barely adds up to a life with meaning. You can feel all your feelings and mind all your thoughts but if you don’t learn the lesson it’s all for nought. 🌻

February
I hate February. I should like it, because it’s my birthday month, but I don’t. It should be special, because of my birthday, but it’s not. It’s miserable and sad and cold and depressing. I should be celebrating, but I don’t want to. Other people want to celebrate it, but I don’t. I want to…

Taking up Space
To tiptoe through life, Not taking up space, Not entering the race, Not claiming your place, Afraid of disgrace. What a tragic waste. Fear of the limelight, Hide behind the scenes, Burying your dreams, Stifling your screams, Still writing reams. Invisible by no means, But feeling unseen. To avoid making waves, Tread ever so lightly,…

Freeze
A downward depression Energies sink low. Submerging exhaustion, Too heavy to float. Done with the editing, For self preservation. A shield from judgement and condemnation. Hopelessly drained, Numb tears run dry. Dull eyes entertain, Flat, joyless sunrise. Done with the shaming, Seeking a source. Cut off the power Of painful thoughts. Cold, calm, disconnected, Far-off,…

Perspective
Fresh lens on the story, Rose-tinted specs fuel lies. Sweep under the carpet, Past reality denied. Sharpen soft focus, Tease out threads of truth. With unimpaired insight, Shed naivety of youth. Trust strong fresh foundation, Of hope, truth and love. Bright eyes, wide open, Shining light from above. 🌻

Surprise!
Awake to the surprise of unexpected celebrations. A silent love language of mimosas and pastries. Abundance of the heart, Kind & caring, all the way. Wholeheartedly deserving of the specialist of days. Smile breaks across your face, the delight is plain to see. Eyes alight with pure pleasure. Is this for me? 🌻
